Da Song Private Investigator

After Sima Guang went back, he told those yamen servants exactly what Hualang had said. These yamen servants were not as thoughtful as Sima Guang. When they heard that Hualang was rewarded, they were immediately excited and went down to investigate again and again.

These yamen servants had means, so two days later, they thoroughly inquired about the situation of the big landlords in Huainan, and after summarizing, handed it over to Hua Lang.

Hwarang looked at the summaries carefully, and found that in Huainan, there were three super-large landowners, and the land of these people basically ranged from [-] to [-] acres. Less than one-fifth of it has been utilized, that is to say, most of it is barren, and the reason for this situation is that some of the land is too barren, and it may not be possible to reap much from planting plants. , Moreover, these people charge too much rent. After those people planted, it is not enough for them to eat for half a year. In this case, those people might as well start other businesses.

Without people, no matter how much land there is, it will be barren.

And these landlords, more or less, have some things. One of them, surnamed Liu, once robbed a peasant girl on the street.

Of course, this happened many years ago, and the officials of Huainan City were greedy for money and suppressed this matter many years ago.

Other people have done similar things. After reading it, Hwarang decided to take the three big landlords first. He asked the government officials to arrest these people. Although they were rich, they did not dare Fighting with the government, not to mention the fact that the government is arresting people now, the evidence is solid.

After arresting these people, Hua Lang counted the crimes of these people one by one, and after finishing counting, he turned to Sima Guang and asked, "Master Sima, what do you think these people should do?"

Sima Guang frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Kill for life!"

After the word "killing for life" was uttered, the three big landlords were terrified and knelt down to beg for mercy, but Sima Guang dared to spare them, and at this moment, Hualang said again: "Master Sima, these people killed people!" You have done the same thing, and you may have done other things, please send someone to investigate clearly."

These are all Hwarang's tactics to delay the attack. After all, it is too obvious to directly ask them to contribute the land. In this way, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of these people and give them an excuse to sue others. In this way, even if Hwarang and the others had good intentions, but after they were used by people with ulterior motives, the situation might not be good.

Sima Guang imprisoned the three people, and then asked the yamen servants to continue to investigate the situation of these people. After the yamen servants received their orders, they hurried down to get busy.

One day later, they sent news that they found a lot of unsightly things in the homes of those landlords, such as keeping male pets, and so on. Of course, there was also news that Hwarang and the others really wanted, that is These people have used various means to hide a lot of land. After they hide the land, they don't have to pay taxes for it.

After getting the news, Hwarang promoted those people again, and finally revealed his purpose, because these things exist, so they can't say anything, they can only admit it, Hwarang sneered, and then let Sima Guang used the name of the imperial court to expropriate the land that originally belonged to the imperial court. Of course, it is hard to say whether the land that originally belonged to those people was divided into state land during the expropriation process.

After doing this and that, Sima Guang thought that this servant could be released, but Hua Lang ordered the execution.

What did this person do to force him to death? Can such a person be released?

Although expropriating land is the main purpose of Hwarang and the others, attacking the wicked cannot be ignored.

In this way, Hua Lang and the others used this method to expropriate [-] mu of land in Huainan. After the expropriation, Hua Lang went to Liu An and told Liu An about his plan. Liu An listened Afterwards, he was very happy, but with a little worry, he said: "Young Master, I'm afraid it's dangerous to do this. If there is no order from the court, it's not good for us to do this."

Hwarang smiled: "I thought about this a long time ago, so before I was ready to do this, I have already sent a message to the capital. My friends in the capital will bring this matter up in the court. If the emperor agrees, We will start plowing the fields right away, maybe we won’t delay the plowing in autumn, the planting is very good, won’t we be able to eat new wheat next year?”

Hearing what Hualang said, Liu An immediately dispelled his doubts. The two of them summed it up. It is impossible for all the soldiers to farm. After all, the construction of many things in the country and localities cannot do without these soldiers, such as the construction of water conservancy and so on. Yes, so excluding the craftsmen who need to build water conservancy and house repairs and other soldiers with very important skills, Liu'an can probably allocate more than 3000 soldiers to farm. If this is the case, each of them can divide almost three acres of good land, three Although there are not many acres of fertile land, it is a lot of rations for a family. At least they don't have to go hungry for half a year or even a year.

The requirements of these people are very low, if you don’t starve, you can have food, so give them three acres of land and let them have food, then these people will treat you wholeheartedly, and if they have food, how can they rebel ?

In fact, in all dynasties, those who rebelled were either really rebellious and born to rebel, or they just couldn't eat, and the officials forced the people to rebel. The Song Dynasty was a very sweet dynasty, but the rulers were conscious Less than that.

All Hualang can do now is to make the people around Huainan City live a better life.

Perhaps, Hua Lang felt that it would be good for him to raise a team in Huainan City. In the Water Margin, Zhujiazhuang had a militia. It is also possible for him to form a militia in Huainan City. I think it's better to forget it, now that the politics is clear, wouldn't the emperor doubt him by raising soldiers?

It's better to live his life peacefully, and although he doesn't have soldiers, it's really high that Huainan Jianghu obeys his orders, which is much better than raising soldiers.

When the land was about to be expropriated, news came from the capital that the emperor had agreed to Huali's request. Of course, Hwarang knew very well that the reason why the emperor agreed to these requests was due to Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiuwen, Yanbo and others fighting in front of the emperor. It is inseparable.

But these are not important, what is important is that what Hwarang wants to do can finally be done.
